Probably have a ton of unusual/unique items, being a magician and juggler, but the one that comes to mind is our dedicated BBQ bellows.

This is simply an old re-purposed balloon pump and lives outside next to the fireplace. Best way to get the fire going, portable, cheap.. Beats blowing with your mouth/waving newspaper hands down.

As a former Android developer, you can't just do anything in an android app on a modern smartphone. The system is fighting you for resources the whole time. It makes sense to have something like this running as root on a device that you control.

Not that I'm sold on it, just saying..

AI models get more dishonest if you ask them to respond as if they were a pirate: https://www.circusscientist.com/2023/11/13/i-hired-a-pirate-to-take-orders-for-my-entertainment-business/

Fun meme but corporate job listings in my town contradict the premise.

Let them C# I'm sticking to C++ and Python.

I was about 19, a magician friend told me I was good enough at juggling to do busking but I was too shy. Decided to give it a go anyway and remember shaking so hard while lighting the fire torches I was using. Made R30 ($2) so not a lot but I did it. I remember thinking to myself, "I'll never have to work again!"

That was over 20 years ago, and since then - with the exception of that stupid pandemic we had recently - I have made a decent living as a circus performer and magician.

I won't tell you it wasn't a bumpy ride at first, but that first show was the turning point for me I will never forget.

A friend had the shower drain piped directly to his garden sprinkler at one point. His shower was on the 2nd floor so gravity did the rest.

As a professional juggler practised early on to do things with either hand - whether it's washing dishes or putting a key in the door.. just paying attention to how you do things. Now can take juggle 3 balls in either hand

That's the plan.

I mostly use PipePipe on android, from f-droid store. It's basically New pipe but more reliable and can also view Chinese and Japanese video platforms

On desktop Freetube can't be beat

Yeah the Roblox thing is hard to swallow, it used to work better on Linux than on any other platform for me. Everything else there's alternatives - my local PC shop sells machines at a significant discount "without windows installed", maybe if more did that the market would take care of things and the software vendors would have to support Linux.

Yeah ok but my affiliate links what happens to them?

Might be a coincidence but MX Linux still supports 32bit x86 CPU's.

I recently installed MX Linux on an old Dell Inspiron 1300 which inexplicably still runs and it's pretty snappy, considering.

The apipocalypse same as everyone else. I do miss my niche communities, and my 4000+ internet points, but as an open source enthusiast (I use arch btw) I'm very much at home here 😁

Can we do this after they shut down their server please

Something similar happened recently here in South Africa, a woman bumped the thief with her car. He didn't die though, and she wasn't prosecuted. People are sick of crime here

I heard about the avast thing, but how are isp's modifying web pages, that shouldn't be possible with with https, right?

I am upvoting this - also moved to Cloudflare from ngrok it's much simpler to use

Don't know if anyone remembers but private repo's used to be restricted on GitHub, so I actually use BitBucket for most of my private stuff.

Feels like it wouldn't take much change for me to leave with my own stuff although some presence would always be necessary due to contributions. I don't use any of the "features" of GH though, except for pages and that's for work.

My own ads, just to make sure they still work (for the 40% who still don't block ads)

Pretty cool. I was looking up nes games recently, turns out there are still people making games for the platform, open source and on GitHub!

Digital. I've been reading ebooks for years, starting on my flip phone back in the day. The best part to me is being able to seamlessly switch from reading with my eyes to being read to (tts - I'm used to it now and it's waaaay better than it was).

I do a lot of driving for work so I can get a ton of reading done on the road 😁

Putting in my vote for Librera reader here. Also on f-droid

Yeah I'm going with they're innocent. Just the UI with the install button and no explanation is not cool.

Thanks, I'm going to look at a rom soon, it's my main device though and I don't have a good track record when it comes to not bricking phones 🤣

Also there is the bit about unlocking the bootloader, I heard it's not straightforward.

Same. Hopefully this instance doesn't go down like the last ones.

Have you tried Minetest? It's pretty good, and not Java based so a lot more lightweight.

Same experience here! It's the mods not us

Not to mention the savings on bandwidth, all those ads cost your money!

Then I think the actual answer is there are none. Although PipePipe can access PeerTube? Also BiliBili and NicoNico. BiliBili is possibly larger than YouTube but of course it's all in Chinese!
